How common was mass rape in ancient times?

Happened a lot. But, it rarely produced offspring, it was just a rite of conquest to humiliate your opponents. The taking of war brides was actually pretty rare.

it was pretty much an unavoidable consequence of war from the beginning of history until after WWII

Mr Green served as a private in the 101st Airborne Division based at Fort Campbell on the Kentucky-Tennessee state line when he was deployed to Iraq.

It was there that he and three other US soldiers visited the al-Janabi family home in Mahmoudiya, near the so-called “Triangle of Death” traffic checkpoint where they were stationed in March 2006.

During the incident, Mr Green shot and killed three members of the family before three of them raped 14-year-old Abeer Qassim al-Janabi. They then killed her before setting her corpse on fire.

Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi (عبير قاسم حمزة الجنابي) (August 19, 1991 – March 12, 2006),] lived with her mother and father 34, and Qassim Hamza Raheem, 45, respectively) and their three other children: 6-year-old daughter Hadeel Qassim Hamza al-Janabi, 11-year-old son Mohammed, and his 9-year-old younger brother Ahmed. Their house was situated approximately 200 meters (220 yd) from a six-man U.S. traffic checkpoint. From their checkpoint, the soldiers would often watch Abeer doing her chores and tending the garden. The neighbors had warned Abeer's father of this, but he replied it was not a problem as she was just a small girl.
Abeer's mother told her relatives before the murders that, whenever she caught the soldiers staring at Abeer, they would give her the thumbs-up sign, point to her daughter and say "Very good, very good." Evidently this had concerned her and she made plans for Abeer to spend nights sleeping at her uncle's (Ahmad Qassim's) house.[7][8] According to an affidavit later filed by the FBI, Green discussed raping the girl in the days preceding the event.
four of the soldiers were alleged to have directly perpetrated the attack, while Howard acted as lookout. In broad daylight, they walked to the house (not wearing their uniforms)[7] and separated Abeer and her family into two different rooms. Green then murdered her parents and younger sister, while two other soldiers raped Abeer. Green then emerged from the room saying "I just killed them, all are dead".[10] He, who later said the crime was "awesome",[11] then raped Abeer and shot her in the head. After the rape the lower part of Abeer’s body, from her stomach down to her feet, was set on fire. The fire eventually spread to the rest of the room and the smoke alerted neighbors, who were among the first to discover the scene. One recalled "The poor girl, she was so beautiful. She lay there, one leg was stretched and the other bent and her dress was lifted up to her neck

Fuck yeah Gaul

Holy fuck, americans are scum
So much for winning the hearts and minds.

Hey dumbass, imagine what would happen if a middle eastern or asian country invaded a western one.

Any more accounts like this? For research purposes.

technically it is a gangbang.

The Iliad;

>‘... if the gods permit us to sack the great city of Priam, let him ... pick out twenty Trojan women for himself ...’ Agamemnon to Achilles, (9.137–139),

>‘Let there be no scramble to get home, then, till every man of you has slept with a Trojan wife and been paid for the toil and groans that Helen caused him’ (2.389–392)

Herodotus;

>‘A few Phocians were chased and caught near the mountains, and some women were raped successively by so many Persian soldiers that they died’ (8.33)

Livy;

>‘... a signal was suddenly given to the [Carthaginians] to sack the town, as if they had taken it by storm ... every species of lust and outrage and inhuman insolence was visited upon the wretched inhabitants’

>‘[Roman soldiers in Carthage] defile matrons, maidens and free-born boys... there remains no kind of crime, lust, avarice that has been overlooked in the case of any possible victim’

>‘With such shouts, as if they had received a signal from the praetor, they rushed off in every direction to plunder the city ...wrath and greed proved stronger than authority ...’

Cicero;

>‘As for that [gladiator] turned general, what havoc he has made wherever he set his foot ... Fields are laid waste, farmhouses ransacked, mothers of families and unmarried girls and boys of free birth torn away and handed over to the soldiery."

Tacitus;

>‘Whenever a young woman or handsome youth fell into their hands, they were torn to pieces by the violent struggles of those who tried to secure them’ [Roman soldiers in Cremona]

Note that most of these occur at the end of sieges, and most Greek/Roman writings present rape as just another step in the methodology of siege warfare, but rarely outside of it.
